PLASMA Pedal: This IS High Voltage Rock ‘n’ Roll

Transform any sound into a high-voltage electrical discharge with PLASMA Pedal! Go to www.plasmapedal.com to try it out via an interactive youtube livestream!

Apart from the recent dawn of digital overdrives (yuck), not much has changed in the realm of instrument signal distortion since the good ‘ole days of cranked Marshall Stacks and big, noisy fuzz pedals. That’s why we really wanted to go way outside the box with PLASMA Pedal - The PLASMA PEDAL is a revolutionary approach within the realm of overdrive and distortion, it is a new and previously unexplored method of achieving signal clipping. Instead of using LED circuits, transistors or vacuum tubes to produce overdrive, the PLASMA PEDAL transforms your instrument’s live signal into a series of continuous high-voltage discharges within a xenon-filled tube. In essence – you are playing a bolt of electricity, and the electrical discharges produced by your instrument are instantly converted back into an analog audio signal, producing a quick, responsive, and extremely heavy distortion with TONS of unique character! Melting faces just got better :)

Having helped the Gamechanger guys set up the live testing platform, I can tell you all about the node.js daemons that run the thing, stepper motors driving the knobs and YouTube API quotas. Nasty stuff. As for the size of npm_modules folder, [insert yo' mama joke]. Yeah, of course it was rickrolled. On the first song. I picked it. The pedal itself is amazing. Couldn't believe how much air it moves IRL. Wish I could play guitar, but who'll code then?
